Hi, all:

This is a collaboration with Ray Cochrane (rayc). Ray sent me the concept track for the music, as well as the lyrics for the chorus (which he characterized as an idea, but which in reality inspired the verses I ultimately penned to go with). I say it was originally a concept track because, while excellent in its own right, it seemed with each iteration, Ray kept taking the mix to a new level. I have had the good fortune to work with some great collaborators . . . and Ray is a true gem. I hope it shows in this track, and that you enjoy the listen!

My best to you all,

Deej

Here’s the song:

YOU SAID, SHE SAID, THEY SAID, HE SAID

Here are the lyrics:

Can I shake these looks and stares
Can I break this endless chatter
All these rumors running in circles
These rumors got me running in circles
They won’t get us anywhere

You said, she said
They said, you lied
You said, he said
They said, you cried
I say, this isn't working
You say I haven't tried
Who are these doing all the talking
Why are they so preoccupied

Can’t these posers check themselves
Keep their minds on their own business
All these phantoms down the rabbit hole
I’m chasing phantoms down the rabbit hole
We’re not getting anywhere

Will this noise not ever end
Can’t we have just a minute of silence
Just a chance to let our two hearts mend
One last chance to let them heal again
It might get us everywhere

And here’s the band:
